Shell script and spawning new konsole windows?

Hello there, I have a script I use to perform backups to another LAN connected machine, and during the course of the backups, three log files are generated. I was wondering how I could spawn new konsole windows from within the shell script, so that I can 'tail -f' these log files and keep track of what is going on. Is this possible or am I really opening a can of worms?

I apologize for not getting back to this sooner. I am a little overwhelmed with work and school, not to mention wife, kiddo, and house. I haven't even had the chance to try this. Hopefully, I will be able to by the weekend. Thanks for the quick response though!
